His prop- position, as we understand it, is to fur- lish two-thirds of the capital required, ’provided the citizens of Newnan will I furnish the balance. A most desirable location can be obtained, and Major Jones says all that need be done now to get the enterprise on foot is for Newnan to make up an amount equal to one-third of the capital needed. Several of our citizens have indicated a willingness to take stock in the enter prise, though no formal canvass has yet been made. Major Jones will take pleasure in giving additional informa tion to those who feel an interest in the matter, and invites the assistance and iCo-operation of till our citizens. He vljas no personal interest in the entei- jrise, being prompted merely by a de lve to aid in building up the town. the tax returns will reach $2,000,000 by 1SD0. There is not a town in the State that can make so good a showing, either as regards property values or the low {•ate of taxation required to defray the expenses of government; and we capi tally doubt if there is a town in Geor gia or in the South, of equal popula tion, that can float a six per cent, bond above par.
